LONDON'S VOCABULARY.
Some Valuable Information for Anglo
manocs and Their Friends.


1t will interest anglomaniacs to know
that, in LonlOn, one never speaks of the
coaches Of the four-in-hand club, but the
'drags;" that one buys Goals" but never
coal, and that he purchases the necessary
fuel by the sack; that one wears "golosh-
es" instead of rubbers; and that he
treads the pavement" and not the side
walk. American women go shopping at
the "storos," hut their Elgiish cousins
shop at SHOPS" the term "stores" being
reserved FOR the big cooperative estab-
lishments, so called, where one can buy
any thing from paper OF pins to an ele-
phant. In happy memory of Sir Robert
Pee, who created 'the force" police
man is "bobbyn or ''peeler" A crack
er becomes "biscuit" at London table,
and at a party the youthful beaux and
telles toy with CRACKERS" instead
of bonbons. They also eat "sweets"
instead of candy 1t IS worthy OF
notice that "four- wheeler" means a
four-wheeled cab and that the term is
never, by any chance, applied to any other
kind of a four-wheeled vehicle. The afore-
said cab is also a "growler," although
this pet name would fifty belong to the
luckless passenger who, in misguided
moment entrusts himself to one of these
snail-paced, musty, rafting, shaky convey
ances. Que never speaks of the railroad,
but of the railway" nor Of the cars, but
of the "lralnn One "books seats" " at

To Feel Shaky at Times,

Is to be gOOdIy distance on the road to
chronic nervousness. Hostetter's Stomach

ditions. The prosecuted, and therefore oft
en- offending organ, the stomach, is largely
responsible for nervous symptoms. lnvig-
crate it, and you will find that the sympa-

iousness and constipation also contribute to
nervousness. Both are eXtirpated by the
Bitters, which is also invaluable for fever

Rock ISLAND. III July IL
Editor Argus:
Dear Sir:-l see in the columns OF your
paper that some person giving his name as
Thompson, has written from Dies Moines,
Iowa, to people in this city, stating that
party by the name of HERMAN was
travelling around with lot of tramps
and beating their bills, and that he
tThompson) warned the people of Rock
Island to look out for them.
Now, Mr.. Editor, allow me space in
your paper to say that the writer is no
other than Dan O'Leary, the pedestrian.
Mr.. OLeary took this way to injure
our exhibition here. He lies to the
public when he says we beat
our bills. as the receipts of all the bills
contracted in Des Moines are on exhibi,
ton at the Commercial hotel, which
proves Mr. Thompson, alias Dan O'Leary,
| a liar. He was dead broke when he left
Omaha, Neb., and |, ]. s. Herrimen,
sent him pass to come to Des MOines,
Iowa, to enter in the race there. He got
| fourth place in the race, being so drunk
the second day that he had to leave the
track. And this is the Thompson who is
trying to injure honest people by his
lying letters. The people traseing with
me are Mr. Frank Hart, the champion
colored pedestrian of the world backed
| by r, K Fox, OF New York. Mr. Greggs
| and wife, who is well known to the press
in the east, Mr.. Call, of Des Moines,
Iowa, Mr. C. A Jones and wife, of Chr
cago, and J j Herman and wife, New
York. We are not dead beats or tramps
as O'Leary calls us, but either Hart OF
Herman are topen to tramp six days
against OLeary or Thompson rs be call,
himself, for any amount. We would be
pleased TO have him sign his name in
full, Daniel OLeary, and not Thompson
as every one in our party can tell his
writing He is sneak and liar ant
his letters prove him to be so.
